Solution Architect

About the Position

We are seeking a Solution Architect to serve as the strategic interface between local business requirements and global technical delivery. In this role, you will lead the design and implementation of end-to-end architectures, facilitating technical workshops in local language (primarily Thai) to ensure the client's business vision is accurately translated into global-standard blueprints.

While you bring strong banking domain expertise, core banking knowledge is considered a plus and not mandatory - GFT will provide structured training and enablement to further empower your expertise with our global architectural standards and methodologies.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement end-to-end solution architectures for banking transformation.
• Evaluate existing banking systems within the client’s infrastructure, identifying limitations and proposing solutions that align with both global standards and local regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders, product owners, and SMEs to define solution blueprints.
• Manage and coordinate technical efforts across multiple local and offshore teams to ensure timely delivery of robust and future-proof banking solutions.
• Ensure architectural integrity and consistency by synthesizing local business logic into English-language technical documentation for global development teams.
• Identify, communicate, and mitigate RAID throughout the project lifecycle.
• Provide technical leadership in defining best practices and frameworks for banking transformation.

Requirements

• Language Proficiency (Mandatory):
  • Fluent English (spoken and written) for technical documentation, global collaboration, and architecture governance.
  • Professional fluency in Thai or English for stakeholder negotiation and solution design facilitation.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Proficiency in developing and deploying applications in microservices and event-driven architectures, with strong backend engineering skills.
• Primary language: Java (Java, OOP, Kafka, Spring Boot, etc.)
• Secondary languages (advantage): Python, Go
• Minimum of 4+ years of experience in a Solution Architect role or 5+ years of experience in banking technology, banking implementation, or platform engineering.
• Strong banking domain experience, with a clear focus on Lending and Deposit products (e.g. loan lifecycle, credit processing, CASA, term deposits).
• Solid understanding of banking transaction processing, payments, and regulatory requirements.
• Core Banking experience is a plus (nice to have); onboarding training and architectural enablement will be provided.
• Expertise in enterprise architecture, software design patterns, and API-driven architectures.
• Proficiency in modern application development methodologies, including event-driven architecture and microservices.
• Hands-on experience with integration frameworks and legacy modernization approaches in banking.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and strong interpersonal skills.
• Ability to adapt existing domain knowledge to new architectural frameworks and global implementation standards.
• Builds strong, influential relationships with senior stakeholders, effectively engaging C-suite and executive leaders to align technical strategy with business priorities.

We Offer

• Competitive salary & performance-based bonuses.
• Premium healthcare & wellness programs.
• Global exposure across large-scale digital banking engagements.
• Continuous upskilling in Smart Contract engineering, cloud, and architecture pathways.
• A collaborative, innovative, and inclusive engineering culture.
